my feeling is, if it's good enough for ronald reagan, it's good enough for me. so we have a top rate of 28% and we have a simplified tax code, a simplified tax code which i'll discuss in a minute which is not completely flat, but we have things there for a reason, to help promote strong and healthy society. i also believe in reducing the size of government. that's key. you can't just cut taxes and reduce as a result in large part revenues to the federal government without creating a balance by reducing the size of government. that's important, too, to remove the regulatory burden from the people in this country. i propose $5 trillion in reduction over five years. that can be funny math for a lot of folks in america. well, is that $5 trillion from the baseline or how does that all work as to whether that's real reductions or not? what i pledge is that we will spend less money every year than the year before, all four years, until we reach a balanced budget in five years $5 trillion in five years, less spending each year every year and we will reach a balanced bud
